Near the end of the match Bronson Reed appeared and set his sights on Seth Rollins. Reed cleared off the announce table then Damian Priest and Sheamus both attacked him, but he took them both out then delivered a Tsunami to each of them.
Bronson Reed then climbed up the barricade and jumped off sending Rollins through the announce table with a Tsunami. Back in the ring Dominik Mysterio hit a Frog Splash on Sheamus. Damian Priest broke up the pin at two. Dominik went to the top rope and Damian Priest caught him when he jumped off then delivered the choke slam for the win to earn the title shot.
